A wonderous voyage through ambient, spacemusic and German-esque EM, Tacit Blue create an atmospheric sonic experience that is both dark and hopeful.

A collection of richly textured ambient space music in the vein of Brian Eno, Tangerine Dream and Steve Roach. It is sometimes relaxing, sometimes moody, but always enjoyably fresh and experimental. Tacit Blue is dedicated to the exploration of space - in all of its forms. We support the work of NASA and astronomers worldwide in their exploration of the infinite space outside of that the Earth occupies. Sonically, we explore that same space, as well as all the myriad spaces found on the Earth itself. Every physical space, every room, has a distinct sound all its own. The shape of the space, the materials from which it is constructed, its size, reception of outside noises, etc. all work together to create a distinct ambience. Head space works in a very similar way. Mood is affected by the day's events, how a person is greeted by others, positive or negative encounters, memories, beliefs, smells, tastes, sounds, etc. All these factors work together to create a distinct mental ambience. These are the spaces and ambiences Tacit Blue is interested in exploring. It is our mission, our journey. We hope you will come with us and enjoy the ride as we explore an idea that is infinitely definable: space.

With Dreamland the duo of Tacit Blue play their way into existence. On their debut release, Chris Crabtree and Jim Rogers use the vocabulary of the Berlin school of electronic music to phrase their own style of sonic impressionism. From the dynamic stasis of the track "Sand", to the attenuated steady synth pulse of "Pure Snow", the soft bells of sleep on "Chimes of Fall" and the confident rhythms, melodies and energy of "Red Sprites", Tacit Blue's music exists beneath the surface of the night and connects the voices of the past to our present time. This album offers us a sonic exploration of physical and cerebral spaces, along with Tacit Blue's aural interpretation of their emotional states. On Dreamland the duo have created a clean album of original, warm electronic music and proves that talent is entirely democratic, it can show up anywhere, anytime. - Chuck van Zyl/STAR'S END 4 July 2001
